Alright here's my conundrum:

I want to get a midsize SUV for my mom. I like the RX, but it's been the same design for like 18 years and it's getting updated for 09 anyways. The X5 is great because it'll be around for 3-4 more years. BUT--I feel the value isn't there with my budget at 50k.

1. I want to get an X5 with tech (nav, backup camera, parking sensors)+ BMW assist (great feature IMO) + running boards (mom's a bit short)... MSRP=

2. No dealerships have this option set in their X5s. I think the premium package in the X5 is very overpriced for what it offers (nothing of use in my book)

Is there anyway you think I'd be better off ordering an 08 or sticking with an inflated 07. Also, I DO NOT WANT THE 3rd seat. budget is 50k...

WHAT SHOULD I DO?
